“Our family and I appreciate Cindy's care of our fur babies. We were discouraged at finding the best sitter for them after having bad experiences after the next with other dog sittters. Cindy sent updates and madensure our babies were comfortable during their stay. We appreciate her and hope to use her services again.”
2. Megan C.
“This was Bella’s first time to stay with Megan for multiple nights. She loved every minute of it and I know because Megan was fantastic at keeping me informed of how she was interacting with other dogs and what she was doing with her. I received many pictures that I could tell she was content. I will be using Megan on a regular basis so Bella can continue to have playmates and I know she will be well cared for.”

4. Randy B.
“They did an amazing job with our 19 week old puppy. There were lots of other dogs for him to play with and a huge yard for all the pups to run around. We got so many pictures and videos that gave us full confidence how well he was being taken care of. Highly recommend!!”
5. Charlayda M.
“Charlayda took excellent care of my dog, Stella! She was very responsive and gave me lots of photo and text updates to ensure she was comfortable and happy during her stay. If I ever need to board Stella again, I will definitely be asking Charlayda first!”
6. Em Z.
“We recently entrusted Em to watch over our beloved dog, Ranger, for four nights, and the experience was absolutely fantastic. Our sitter, Em and her partner, was truly wonderful and took exceptional care of Ranger, leaving us with no doubt that he had an excellent time. Em displayed a high level of attentiveness to Ranger's needs, and her systematic approach to dog sitting was impressive. When we first arrived, she insisted on meeting both us and the dogs outside. After this introduction, she would take Ranger for a walk around the neighborhood, allowing him to acclimate to her and alleviate any anxious or nervous energy he had. This approach was a fantastic way to ensure that Ranger was comfortable before meeting other dogs. Ems large backyard was a paradise for our furry friend. It provided ample space for the dogs to play and run around. Ranger truly felt at home, and Em even let him join them on the couch for cuddles and allowed him to lay on her feet while she worked – something Ranger absolutely loves. One of the highlights of Ranger's stay was the berry peanut butter treats that Em prepared. She made sure to ask for our consent before offering them to Ranger, and he couldn't get enough of them. Em went above and beyond in keeping us updated with a daily photo and, if ever needed, was very accommodating if we wanted more frequent updates. She made us feel welcome and cared for, ensuring that we were comfortable throughout Ranger's stay. When Ranger returned home, he was thoroughly exhausted but had the most significant grin on his face in every photo Em shared. It was heartwarming to know that he had such a great time while we were away, and it felt like he had his own little vacation. We are definitely planning to use Em and her partner's services again to watch over Ranger. They are excellent dog sitters, and we have full confidence in leaving Ranger in their care. It was a delightful experience, and we highly recommend their services to any pet owners seeking the best care for their furry family members.”

About: I have experience as Vet Tech and Animal Welfare positions at the Jacksonville Humane Society. I have extensive volunteer experience across the country with various non profits such as Best Friends Animal Society, Virginia Paws for Pits and Plainview Texas Rescue. As a vet tech, I assisted with administering medication to senior dogs, as well as vaccinations, blood draws and CPR training for canines. Pet care is a priority every day in my home. Each animal in my household has an AM/PM feeding routine, as well as daily exercise either in yard or on walks. I have a fenced yard, my dogs and cats have been patient and kind brothers and sisters to at least 20 foster dogs/cats over the last 7-8 years, We have separate areas in the home for each animal to be comfortable. Should there be an emergency, we have a tight knit neighborhood that can help at any time. We live in an animal loving community . I am an avid walker and will gladly walk highly active dogs. We have an emergency vet. If caring for a pet in a client's home, I will always be mindful of their safety and the home's cleanliness. Any protocol that needs to be fulfilled will be a priority.
